18 Margaret Street, Redlynch

The original farmhouse of the area, this century-old Queenslander has been renovated while keeping the timber that makes it special: silky oak cupboards and doors, a solid Kauri pine bathroom door, and wide Kauri pine floorboards, freshly polished, through the upstairs living area.

Upstairs, the air-conditioned open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge takes in mountain views. The kitchen carries Canadian Maple benchtops, a pressed tin splashback and a skylight overhead. Two large bedrooms with built-in robes sit off the living area, both light and airy with treetop views, and the modern main bathroom adds feature tiling, a laundry chute and a separate toilet.

Downstairs has its own entrance and two more bedrooms, the main with a built-in robe and an ensuite with separate shower and spa bath. A second kitchen in silky oak and Queensland Maple, with the island bench included, sits alongside a large laundry, storeroom and third toilet. With two entrances, two kitchens and two living areas, the home works as one large residence or as two two-bedroom halves sharing the laundry.

Outside, the back verandah has room for a table and barbecue, overlooking a fenced, dog/child secure yard with a 26,000 litre saltwater pool with beach entry, an established citrus grove, fish ponds and a fire pit. The 744 square metre block sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with no rear neighbours.

Beyond the back fence is the Kuranda rail line, two services each way daily, then a park and playground. Shops, schools, medical and the Red Beret Hotel are minutes away, and the Cairns CBD is around a 15 to 20 minute drive.

10.5kW of solar, split-system air conditioning in the living areas and all bedrooms, and Crimsafe screens on accessible windows and doors round out the work already done.
